P. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLII; JOURNALS. Lord John Russell made an important announcement on Friday, viz., that he int:laded to reverse the order of proce e di ng, and to the Irish Municipal Corporations Bill before he roo' or; uce . upon e - ouse of Commons to go further with s are trisn Tithes resolutions. the II H st e aced that he shoUld be reajty to move for the introduction of the Irish Muni cipal Corpnrations Bill on Monday; but at the request of Sir Robert Peel, who wished for tin - .e to consider with his friends what course he should take upon this subject, Lord John Russell agreed to defer the question until Friday. With regard to the resolutions upon Irish tithes, his Lordship observed that he should only found a Bill upon the first of them, for the conversion of tithe composition into a rent-charge, payable by the owner of the first estate of inheritance. This subject was post_ pored until Monday week, and from what passed bete Cell Lord John Russell and Sir Robert Peel, it seems likely that it may again be deferred until the House shall have made progress with the Irish Municipal Corpo. rations Bill. The Chancellor of the Exchequer afterwards brought on the annual Budget. The circumstance of the balance sheet showing an increased expenditure and diminished receipt was, of course, regretted by the Right Hon. Gentleman; but he urged various reasons fur be. lieving that both arose from causes of a temporary character. The total income of the last year had been 4 6,090,0001, while the total ex. penditure had been 47,519,0001., leaving a deficiency of 1 ,429,0001. Taking the whole of the income and expenditure of the two last years, the deficiency was 208,0001. ; but taking the income and expenditure of the three last years, it would be 505,000/. Were the deficiency likely to be permanent, it would be his duty to propose additional taxes to waet it; but affairs were assuming a more cheerful aspect, and there was not the slightest reason for doubting that the deficiency would soon be succeeded by a favourable balance. The Right Honourabl: Gentle. man having entered into an analysis of the debt, adverted par t cularly to the relief which would be affrrded by the falling in of en nuities, which, before 1867, would lead to a diminution of expenditure of more than three millions. He adverted to the increase of tee de posits in the Savings' Banks above the draughts, as among the circum stances which justified the favourable anticipations which he enter tained. The Budget, therefore, amounted merely to the statement of the deficiency of the income as compared with the expenditut e, and the reasons of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for believing that a brighter prospect was about to open. But the Right Hon. Gentleman, in giving an account of his stewardship, assigned reasons for scme of his operations which were deemed of a somewhat questionable nature. Of this de scription were his reasons for keeping the interest on Exchequer Bile at a - rate much higher than that at which money could have been obtained in the market. The interest on Exchequer Bills was still lower than the present interest on Consols, and he considered the inte rest which money bore for short loans on bills or other similar securities no rule for his guidance. The Right Hon. Gentleman was more suc cessful in justifying his raising the interest, at the time he did so, than he was in continuing it at a high rate under different circumstances. In fact, he seems to have perplexed himself not a little with some theor: that it was necessary the Government should be extravagant in borrow ing money at a high interest instead of a low interest, in order that in_ clividua's might not be tempted by the low rate of interest to rush into extravagant speculation. It might be no difficult matter to point out a source whence extravagant speculation is fel, by attention to which the Right Honourable Gentreman would benefit the country much more than by addin g t o th e b ur d ens of the country by enabling the holders of Exchequer bills to sell them at high premiums. But on this subject we must refer to the speech of Mr. Goulburn, who, however much we may disapprove of his political principles, and more espe cially his Irish politics, appeared to us to entertain very rational views with respect to financial matters. We do not speak of his cavilling with regard to deficiency bills, or his attempt to fritter away the testimony of the Duke of Wellington, by making it a charge against Ministers that they did not keep larger establishments in Canada than were pronounced sufficient for its defence by that good judge; but we allude to the man . ner in which he met the fanciful notion of the Chancellor of tbi - xche. quer, that raising th e ra t e o f i n t eres t on E xc h equer ex travagant speculation, and to his condeninatioo s prevented - of an undue ex t ens i on of the unfu n d e d d e bt as f raug ht wst h nger to the country. " Th e Right Hnn. Gentleman," said Mr. a;oulburn, " supposes that if he does not maintain the rate of itit'7 - cest at more than three per cent., the per. sons who otherwise wauld be disposed to purchase Exchequer Bills would be induced to et'aisark in wild speculations, and involve themselves in diffi. culties by to doing; but this supposition was altogether fallacious and if it were not,was the princlple one on which the Governmeet should proceed It was fallacious, because the Right Hon. Gentleman imagined that the public and the individual who was the purchaser of the bills received the interest paid by Government. But it was not the fact that if the Government paid three oer cent. on Exchequer bills, these parties world receive. it ; for there would be found plenty of persons who were willing to take a less sum —(Hear)—and the principle, therefore, was to reduce the interest to the rate paid in the market, so that if it were proposed to raise money on Exchequer bills at five per cent., it would have no effect, for the public would pay the full per centage, while the individual who bought the bills would make no more than by any ordinary speculation. The argument, therefore, was a fallacy, for the payment of Exchequer bills did not depend on the amount of interest paid, but on the state of the money market.—(Hear.)" We will not pursue this subject further than by observing, that the answer of the French merchants to Colbert, who wished to be informed how the-Government could best promote their welfare, " by letting us alone," is as applica ble now as ever. The duty of Government is of a negative rather than of a positive kind. Its business is to protect the subject from external and internal enemies—to remove all obstructions to the free exercise of industry —to afford security to property—to furnish the public with a currency which rests on a solid basis —and to take no more from the people in the shape of taxes, than is necessary for these objects. Ana when this has been done, individuals may safely be left to themsel ves as to the character of the speculations in which they shall induase. If the Chancellor of the Exchequer would secure the public against tampering with the issues, he would do much more to prevent imprudent specula. tions than by endeavouring to tempt men with an extravagant interest to come to his shop oaly. For the account of the rest of the debate, we must refer to out learliamentaey report.— Morning Chronicle. The result, of the debate, if debate it could be called, on the Ways and Meanseewas neither more nor less than this—that the deficiency of revenue is to be made up by Exchequer-bills. The Chancellor of the Eacheerier began his statement of what is familiarly called the Budget, by enJ'eavouring to soften the state of the finance by general reference to tire circumstances of the time. There had been much alarm last Yvar, he would admit ; the saving banks had drawn out more than they glad paid in; but then there was more capital than in the panic of 1825; the country was, so far, better able to sustain the shock; and, at ail events, her prospects were now improving,. In looking at a state like the present, of diminished receipt and augmented expenditure, the question is, are your deficiencies likely to be permanent or only tern. porary ? If permanent, you can meet them only by applying to Par liament for increased taxation ; but if, as now, they appear but tempo rary, this extremity is by no means to be resorted to. The expenses of the present year are increased by two heavy items, not oc u*ring in the elder times of our rina nce — namely, the in tere -t on the Slave Compsnsgtion, and the cost of the Canadian insur es:so ion. Exchequer bills likewise, which, according to common usage, world not have been taken up till September, 1838, have been ex tha iged at an earlier period, because it is no longer deckled expedient to pert' , irm this operation at a season when Parliament is not sitting. For the last year and a half, too, the interest on Exchequer bills has been ke t at a higher rate than heretofore. The Government has been ble neel for paying a higher rate of interest than that at which private lea is may be effected ; but the objectors forget that these private loans are negociated only for short fixed periods, or under peculiar circum stances. If the permanent rate of interest were thus low, the price of Consols would show it at once by a rise to a corresponding level. The Right Hon Gentleman then acknowledged that his favourable an ticipations of last year had been disappointed. He had estimated for 1837 a revenue of 47,250,000/.; and he had reaped a revenue of only 4 6,090,0001. ; and he had eseimated an expenditure of less than 47,000,0004, which had turned out, to be more than 47,500,000/. On the whole, therefore, the deficiericy for 1837 had been almost a million and a half. But if he had teen below the mark in his provision for 1847, he had been greatly above it in his provision fur 1836 ; and on the two years, if taken together, there would be found a surplus. This notable argument reminds u s of the contented beggar, who, having e, O thing- to eat on a certar,n Christmas-day, consoled himself'' stomach would very well ' 'Chat his oear the privation, because On a'ne Christmas. day preceding he had 'greatly overeaten himself. Faom the past 31 r . S. Rice proceeded to t to more pleasing contenve;ation of the future. In estimating, t h e 'l the future state of th.',ngs, he would r a th er take his average of ta .ree than of two years, beeause the average of the two would give a . nis ,re favourable result than the average of the three, which last, from its greater sobriety, he should prefer. On an ave. ra g7e of three years the deficien of 1838,had t .o provid e f or, m i ght be estimated cy at 505,000/. which He ! thought it would be but a temporary defalcation, for both the deficiency of income and the excess of expenditnre arose from accidental causes, and he therefore would ask for no increase of taxation. From 1831 to 1833 a deficiency had existed in each year. Then the tide began to turn, and a favourable state of affairs succeeded for several years, which lasted (though latterly diminishing) till 1837, when there was again a deficiency. In October last, however, a re-action once more occurred, and is still in progress. The plan now proposed had been pursued by Mr. Canning in 1827, and was an example to be followed. The country was rich too in prospective resources, as witness the arrangements for the reduction of the permanent into terminable annuities; and before 1867, in various ways, 5,000,000/. of money would have been re duced from the annual charge. On all these grounds he should propose a vote of credit. Mr. Hume, after some conversation about tile appointment of a day for the discussion of the general conduct of the Government in City matters, and some animadversions on their policy with respect to Canada, attributed the deficiency to the general excess of establishments and salaries, lamented the decrease of exports and imports, and recommended reductions in all quarters, civil and military. Mr. W. Williams complained that the interest of Ex chequer bills had been raised too high, of which no better evidence was necessary than the premium of 70s. to 80s, which those bilis were bear. lug. Mr. Goulburn observed, that the reduction of establishments is not always economy. In Canada, for instance, a timely expenditure in the provision of a few troops might have saved the large oetlay already incurred, and the yet larger expense which was still to be called for. He censured the course adopted by Government on the subject of the funded debt, which still continued to increase. He exposed the fallacy of some of Mr. Rice's estimates of surplus ; and commented with great effect on that gentleman's policy of providing a high interest on Ex. chequer bills to prevent rash speculation. It could have no such effect, for the capitalist who had money to invest derived no benefit from the high interest; that advantage, instead of coming to him as his own when he purchased, was eaten up by the seller, in the proportional premienn charged. Nor was it any part of the proper business of Goe.ernmelit to regulate the speculations of individuals. The duty of Government was to borrow its own money, like any other borrower, at the lowest rate of interest. And if it were argued, that unless the rate of interest were kept up, Exchequer bills would fall below par, the answer would• be, that such a fall is conclusive to show that there are too many of them. Several other gentlemen, Mr. Gillon, Mr. Hutt, and Colonel Sibthorp, animadverted upon the financial policy of Go vernment. But the most cruel commentator on the logic of the Budget was Mr. Si. Attwood, who dealt unmercifully with Mr. Rice's claim to confidence in 1838, as founded on his calculations for 1837 and 1836. The Rack Hon. Gentleman had erred in 1837 by anticipating too much ; but then, as he had erred no less in 1836, by anticipating too little, he had averaged the two errors together; and as two negatives make up affirmative, so the two cross blunders of the Government in 1836 and 1837 establish their claim to the confidence of the country in 1888. Mr. Rice replied, and the whole debate (after a short vindica tion by Sir J. Reid of the Policy of the Bank) went off without excite ment —Times. The Budget was the order of the day on Friday in the House of Corn- MODS, and excited unusual interest, not only among the Representatives of the people, but also in the Money Market. By most persons it was confidently expected that the deficiency in the revenue during the past year would be made tip by a loam —by others that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would again postpone the Budges, and wait for a convenient season to bring it forward. Both expectations have been disappointed. Talise beenis, in r the first place, to b e no loan; and in the second, the Budget h brought forward, in the most st ra i g h tforward and honourable There manner that any exposition of the financial condition of the country was ever laid before a legislative body.' A deficiency in the revenue is no pleasant affair to deal with at any time, but more especially when a Chan cellor of the Exchequer has to deal with a party which will not scruple to torture a deficiency of income into a charge of mismanagement on the part of the Government Truth, however, has its own shield and buckler to ward off unjust and unmanly attacks; and never was its power dis played in a more vigorous, manly, and convincing manner, than it was last night by her Majesty's Chancellor of the Exchequer. His speech was every thing that could be desired. It was at once a candid statement of the state of the incoma and expenditure of the country, and of the means by which the excess of the latter over the former was to be met. With regard to the increase of the expenditure of the year, the Chancellor of the Exchequer accounted for it on three grounds, which every inquirer must admit to be correct. First, the interest on the West India loan; secondly, the increased exp ense for the Govern. 'A SIIIONA - CLT INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS. 1) . 1 1, • 1 1. Foley, Esq., M rs .

After reading this statement, no man can be at a loss to understand why it has been so long delayed, and so fre quently deferred. It was not that the account the Chancellor of the Exchequer had to render was an unfavourable one in respect to the criti cal condition of the revenue and expenditure. It was not that tile state of the finances put it out of his power to gratify the country by proposing a diminution of taxation. It was not .that, instead of announcing ally recent •or any approaching diminution of the public debt, he herd to perform the less easy and acceptable office of proclaim ing and enforcing the necessity of increasing it. The speech of Mr. Rice brought clearly into view (and this was the only thing that it made clear) a motive for reluctance and procrastination different front any of these, that of the utter unfitness and inability of the Right Hon. Gentleman to deal with his subject. Having given this general opinion of the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and intend. ing practically to show, by a more detailed reference to some portions of his statement, that this expression of our opinion is not heedless or gra tuitous, we think it right, before we proceed further its this most un. gracious part of our duty, to state that we do not censure the means by which Government have determined to supply the present defi ciency of the revenue, nor dispute the validity of the reasoning upon winch that determination is founded. We concur in the opinion of Mr. Rice, that the resources of the country ere not per manently impaired. We believe pith him that the actual defalca tion of the revenue, serious as it is, is yet no ether than one of those oc casional and temporary fluctucee'ens to which a natienal income, de pending in so great a degr ee as that of Great Britain upon an extensive and complicated `,;rem of commerce, must necessarily be subject. We hope we me expo ,niture , also venture to subscribe to his belief that the increase of which the Circumstances of the current year have rendered necessary are not likely to be permanent, for it would be too much to expect that even the present Ministers of the Crown should provide a permanent supply or Colonial insurrection, and an evermecurring neces sity for expensive armaments, expeditions, and dictatorships. Agreeing thus with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that the actual inadequacy of the income of the country to meet its expenditure is temporary, we concur with him also in the opinion that the most advisable method of supplying the deficiency is by a temporary increase to the fleeting or unfunded debt. Any addition to taxation would have been inexpe dient, even were Ministers in a condition to sustain, which notori ously they are not, the increased load of unpopularity which such a proposal must have brought upon them. To impose a tax, with the pros pect of having soon to repeal it, would he to inflict an evil upon the corn. munity greater than that of the mere abstraction from their pockets of the amount it might be calculated to yield in the disturbance which the imposition always, and sometimes also the repeal, of a tax occasions to the transactions and relations of society. The only remaining resource would have been an iminediate addition to the funded debt, which has been very properly avoided, inasmuch as it is evident that this financial operation could not be carried into effect in present circumstances, un less upon terms comparatively disadvantageous to the country. Hav ing made these admissions, which candour and justice seem to demand, we now recur to the proof afforded by the speech of Mr. Rice that he has no very clear ideas of the subject on which it was his official duty to treat, or that he labours under a most unfortunate incapacity of ex plaining his ideas very clearly. Mr. Spring Rice acknowledges a defi. ciency of income, as compared with expenditure, of 1,429,0001.; and if the present hail been the first Budget -speech that the Right lion. Gentleman had ever made the only thing that would have remained for him to do was to propose the means by which, with the least detriment to the country, this deficiency might be supieied. But unfortunately he had made a Budgeteepeech last year, in which he established to his own satisfaction, and that of a majority of the House of Commons, the probability of the income of the year equalling time expenditure ; so that the amount of the • e actual deficiency is the amount of that antece dent miscalculation of his own, for which it behoved him as a res ' ble Finance Mi n i s t er now to account. And how does he I'is'. account for this miscalculation ? By reference to a variety ns• '• of •,eruculars, every one of which either were or ought to have bee'. present to his mind last year, when he elaborately compared ;Its probable income with his estimated expenditure, anti pretended to lie carefully and accurately adjtisted the one to the other, T. Right Hon. Gentleman are the speculations in railroe , es and Foreign Stocks. These are not ne t ts °, since last year. Pee refers to the depression of our commerce and ma nufacture.; e ".',sing from the monetary crisis in America. But neither is thi, new since last year. He talks of the interest upon the West India Loan as an increase to the outlay of the country. Thi s, however, is not new since last year. He speaks of a paytnent of two hinelred thousand pounds brought into this year which might have been carried forward to the next, in 'consequence of a change in the period of exchanging the outstanding Exchequer bills, and paying the interest due upon them. And this again is an item of which he could not have been ignorant last year. The singular particular in which the Right Hon. Gentleman can affect to have been taken by sur prise is the additional outlay on account of the condition of Canada, which he estimates at between six and seven hundred thousand pounds ; and we think we may venture to say, that thiealso might have been foreseen last year, but that it was not convenient for Ministers to be more clear.sighted at that period than it was agreeable to some of their friends who took an interest altogether peculiar in Canadian affairs, and ment of Canada, in consequence of the insurrectio” . - amount of the increase of - these results Ai • IVIRS. AND MORNING CONCERT. The annual concert of the eminent Pianiste above mentioned, took pace oa Friday at the Hanover:square Hems, and we wer... rejoiced to observe, by the eXtensi, e patronage awarded to her on the oecaslon, that notwithstanding the popularity of recent continental importations, genuine English talent still centinpe= to maintain its ground, Thereon' was tilled by a most brilliant and fashionable - auditory. The concert was of a t-re!) , first-rate character, both in regard to the merit of the selecti o n and afrithgebleilt, anti the excellen ce o f the performances ill point OP execution. The singers wc , e Mademoiselle Placci, Mrs. Bishop, Miss ITawes, Signor Tvanoff, Mr. Phillips, and Mr. Stretton : and solos on their respective instruments were played, by 'Mrs. Anderson on the 1 4, 31 n-forte ; Mons, r,,,barre i harp; Mr. Heinemey. r flute ; and a duet Platio.forte,by Mrs. Anderson, and Mr. BlagrciVe, Its addition to these instrumental treats, her Majesty's private band of wind instru ments, were heard by the public for the first time, on this occasion, in several concerted pieces. We must first speak of the vocal pieces, and in consonance with the laws of gallantry, the lady performers will demand prior attention. Mademoiselle Placci then sang Donizette's "Ah se d'armer..," with great feeling, and in a beautifully rich qua. lity of voice ; Mrs. Bishop, the aria, by the same composer, " Forse un destin ;" and Mtrcadanti's duet, " Vannie se Al_ berghi," With Placci ; the latter was exquisitely sung by both. Miss M, B, Hawes Was deservedly encored in " Then art lovelier," a very sweet song of Hawes' composition. Ivanoft was much admired in " Fra poco," from Lucia di Lammermoor; he gave it with great pa. thos. Ivanoff also sang in Rossini's duet, " Gli marinari," with M r . Stretton. Mr. Phillii)S sang a he* S. song, hiS own composition— `` Sweet Spring, stay." It was very like something we have heard be. fore, and dint not excite any very particular attention ; the accompani ments were exCeedinglY pfetq. ton:sideritig the Very short time her Majesty's band have been organised, they perfornied in I style that evinced considerable intrinsic merit. The parts supported by the cla rionets, hautboys, flutes, and horns, were played with very great deli cacy and taste, but the trumpets and basses are rough and overbearing. 11ons. Labarre's harp:playing is very masterly and finished, bid the rriusie seleeted On this occasion Was not of the very best quality : t ` triek's Day" is in its proper place in " The highways and bye.ways ; l4 and in the Theatre Royal of the Irish metropolis, but we did riot much admire its introduction to a Concert-retnn, Helnemeyer's 'Fantasia on the flute gained great applaus,, ; it was perfection both in taste, quality of tone, and masterly execution.

The task which former rids_ calculations of his own imposed last night upon Mr. Rice was not an easy one. That he thoroughly broke down under it can occasion no sur_ On Friday evening, at the same rooms, Messrs. T. and G. Cooke, father and son, gave their annual concert, which also attra,ted a full assem. blage of fashionable company. The concert was a very good one, and the selection perfOrmed it very excelent style. The gloria from Beethoven's Mass in C was very finely sung and played. Mr. Balfe bas encored in his own song " Look forth my fairest." Mr. gave " Mad Torn," but, although sung wills great talent, it will not do after Braham. Messrs. Allen, Seguin, and Giubelei sung Rossini's " Pap. patici" with a good deal of humour and spirit. Mrs. E. Knight's " Who would not love" was in her own peculiar style, and was much . applauded. Signor Ivanoff and Mr. Balfe gave Rossini's " Gli rinari," and it was much more effective than in the morning. A mad. rigal of Mr. I'. Cooke's, " Shall I waste my time," was remarkably well sung, and deservedly encored. The first port of the concert concluded with Haydn's wed known bagafell.,, the " Toy Symphony," which cx cited the visible faculties of the auditory, but was, nevertheless, a total failure. At the commencement of the second part, Mr. Richardson played a fantasia on the flute very prettily, and ii) the course of the part Mr. Grattan Cooke evinceil great ability in a solo on the oboe. The latter genti: mar) also accompanied Miss Itainforth in the "Mountain Home" on .the same instrument; the sang was delightfully song by Miss R. There were several other songs in the course of the evening, Which we have not room to notice. The wh01,.) concluded with " save the Queen." Mr. Mori led, and Messrs I'. Cooke and Benedict conducted. The concert was an exceedingly good owe. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-SATURDAY prise. —Morning Post. Mr. Spring Rice brought forward his Budget, on Friday night. A more melancholy exposition of the financial condition of the country was never before, we will venture to state, exhibited to Parliament! The revenue of the last year, compared with the revenue of the year before last, has declined, to the extent of nearly three millions. Th e expenditure of the last year exceeds the receipt, by nearly half a mil lion. The deficiency is to be supplied by an increased issue of Exche quer Bills! While Mr. Spring Rice, was dilating on the causes of the falling off in our resources, he repeatedly alleged, that Grvernment could not, fairly, be blamed for the unpleasant results, which it was his unpleasant duty to submit to the House. On this subject, how ever, we venture to differ from the Chancellor of the Ex chequer ! Ihe causes of financial depression assigned by Mr. Spring Rice, are the recent mercantile crisis—the fever of speculation, which prevailed about two years ago—the burden of interest payable on the West Indian loan of twenty millions—the increased interest on Exchequer Bills—and the increased outlay caused.. by the state of Canada! Admitting that these are the causes of our financial embar rassment, the question remains, how fir these causes have been them selves caused by the policy of Government ! And here, let it be borne in mind, that for every apparent expansion of the national resources— for every gleans, however short-lived, of commercial prosperity—the present Ministry has, ever since its accession to office, taken unqualified credit ! Not a bubble scheme , has ever given a slight impulse to trade ;—but the interesting fact has been trumpeted to the world, as a proof of the inherent and eternal superiority of " Liberal" to " Conservative" policy ! Nut a joint-stock bank has, during the last seven years, enlarged its issues —but the circumstance has been adduced to prove that the natural effect of Whiggery is a prosperous and expand ing commerce; whilst the natural offspring of Conservatism was, on the same authority, declared to be—incendiary fires! Such have been the assumptions, such the reasonings of the Whig officials, and their o: gaps of the press, for years past. Action and re-action, however, are equal in the world of moral, as in the world of physics! If, then, the Whigs were entitled to unqualified credit for the seeming prosperity of 1836, the y must, by necessary consequence, be held responsible, for the ca lamities, and reverses of 1837 and 1838! There can exist, for instance, not the slightest doubt that Government, instead of restraining, stimu lated, the spirit of speculation, which distinguished the early part of 1836. There can exist, moreover, not the slightest doubt, that the system of over-issues of the Bank of England,, and by the joint stock hanks—a system, in which, undaubtedly, the spirit of private specula tion, at that time, took its origin —met with the approbati mof Govern. meat! There can, we repeat, exist no doubt as to these things—for they formed the themes of interminable se lf.glorification to the Whig officials, and their toadies of the press! As to the next item in the Chancellor of the Exchequer's catalogue of:depressing influences—the interest on the West Indian Loan--we are entitled to at down that loan, principal and interest, as dead loss to this country. It is now admitted, on all hands, that that money has been given away by the Whigs, without any attempt having been male by then) to secure an equivalent to the English public, and to the negro appren tices. Whilst, therefore, the burden of the loan of twenty millions might have been, ungrudgingly, bo rne by the industrious classes of this country, the misapplication of th a t l oan —the squandering of the enor sal mo blende us sum of of the mone blu y in question — must be cl assed amongst the most fa rs ndering and imbecile Whigs. As to the expellees of the Canadian war — these have, clearly, been caused by the inconme teneY of the present officials to conduct the Colonial affairs of England. Had England possessed an Administration, endowed with ordinary ca pacity for busies as, or animated by an ordinary degree of zeal fir the honour and interests of England, Canada would have been spared the curse of a civil war. The Whigs winked at treason in Canada—" folded their arms" 'whilst treason was doing its work—abetted the abettors of treason, at home—and are now. in return, supported in the offices which they disgrace, by the sup porters and advocates of Mackenzie and Papineau For the increased expenditure, to which the piesent condition of Canada has given rise, toe Whigs are therefore, beyond question, responsible.

IL GEORGE ROBINS is honoured by the respected Proprieto r with instructions to SELL BY PRIVATE TREATY, A SINGULARLY ELEGANT ITALIAN VILLA and corresponding Offices, one of those especially adapted to mani-- fest without doubt the immeasurable difference existing in respect to the comfortless habitation of a Tuscan, and THE DELIGHT AND SNUGGERY OF AN ENGLISH GENTLEMAN'S ABODE. On shis occasion Mr. ROBINS invokes, with all possible anxiety and humility, that the reader will avail himself of occularc demonstration, as the usual limit of an announcement will neces sarily be a poor substitute for the varied charms that encompass THIS ITALIAN PARADISE. The Traveller need not be reminded that Tuscany is the most favoured of ALL THE ITALIAN STATES, s e s . s i n , a r o G v e o r v b e i r a n i , m a e n n d t directedr e b b y g o n n s E i x n c t e o l l l e e r n a t n c P e, s i a n n c d ur e, whose OF A TEDIOUS EN GLISH WINTER, t ;;e land. I t would be exceedingly difficult b T a H tic are alike strangers id to find a parallel case to tik's priTerty under review; • THE SCENERY IS Or I PASSING BEAUTY; The Climate opposed Wall the inclemeilev of England —roses unceas ins.;iy blooming throughout the fearful *Mies that has passed; its limpid Waters and meandering Streams ; AN AMPHITHEATRE OF LOFTY HILLS; ADORNED BY THE MONARCH OF THE FOREST, in countless numbers, with VALLEYS TEEMING IN WILD FERTILITY. Inklep(ntle7tly of this very imperfect sketch' of to manifold. attributes, which :soar tar above the humble pretensions of the writer to describe in adequate terms, the worthy Possessor has dis covered no inconsiderable tact in having united not only the Ele gance and Coziness, (if such a word may be permitted), of au English fire-side, as opposed to its comfortless contemporaries, but adopting beside a system of rural Economy, combined with the Italian system of Agriculture ; and A DAIRY IN THE ENGLISH TASTE. The Mansion is adapted to afford every comfort that a large' Family can desire ; yet ingenuity has so far presided, that the Pro prietor, with a limited establishment has never found himself over housed. Without this commentary, it might appear a little. astonnding to know, that thereare Eleven Spacious Rooms on each suite; a Dining Hall, 40 feet by 24, in heightb and width, and an infinity of Bed Chambers ; the Window sills throughout the Mansion arc composed of Cedar and Cypress, a plan entirely op posed to Italian nations ; and water laid on throughout the range of Apartments. The Court-yard incloses Stabling for twelve horses, and standing for four Carriages. THE GARDENS ARE ABOUT TWO ACRES, and exceedingly prolific. THE DOMAIN INCLUDES THIRTEEN HUNDRED ACRES. (A great portion still remains to be cultivated. 1 The produce is CORN, WINE, AND OIL, IN GREAT ABUNDANCE ; with fuel from the neighbouring forest to be had without end, and at no expense. There are strong indications of minerals to seduce those who aim at a large income ; and the economist who sojourns here will find a very moderate revenue equal to the legitimate, expenditure of a splendid establishment. A drawing of the Man sion, which gives but an imperfect notion of its various beauties, may be seen, and it should have been remarked that if early pos session be desirable, the abode is complete, and handsomely fur nished in the English style, t o b e included in the purchase of the property. " THE FEE SIMPLE OF THE WHOLE" may be accomplished by moderate means. Full particulars may be obtained at Mr. Robins' Offices, in Covent-garden. i. _
